Tattoos

I found this article extremely interesting because I myself have two tattoos. I found the first few paragraphs to be completely stereotypical. The stigma that goes along with tattoos is very far fetch. I do think that people get tattoos to make their bodies unique and to show their indentity. I have two irish tattoos and that clearly shows that I identify with the irish community and not at all a symbol of "ethnic hate". I think that the ethnic hate tattoos talked about in this article completely takes away from the meaning of tattoos. The fact that people would get tattoos to show hate for others is not right for both parties. I think tattoos are suppose to be about you and you only, not to bring someone else down. And when people don't know what their tattoos mean I think they should have never gotten it. Tattoos are suppose to mean something to you because after all, you do have to live with them forever. I don't think tattoos portray a meaning of deviant behavior or homelessness, I think they mean something special to the person who has it.

I think using tattoo designs in classrooms opens up new doors and ideas of art to students. Tattoos are just another form of art around us everyday. Darts' understood that tattoos interest teenagers and then engaged them in a lesson by using tattoos. This is a good way to exhibit students interests into lessons to keep their attention.
